Spring Shearing


Baa-baa!
Today we got invited up to Underwood to see the lambs and watch the Mamas get their annual haircut.


From a perch atop hay bales in the barn, we watched as the herd got shorn, one by one, by a Basque farmer who came out from Hermiston for the day.

  
The babies were in the pen next door waiting for their mothers and making quite an entertaining racket.


These little lambs are 2 months old, and already as big as Jonah!


The shearing could not have been more perfectly timed...it's supposed to be in the 80's tomorrow!
The animals seemed to be a little extra frisky in the warm sun.


Jonah got to shepherd the sheep to their pasture.  The variety and intensity of green in springtime is so stunning.


Guess who wants a sheep now?

Egg Hunt


I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  Here are a few pictures from our visit to Portland where we shared the Easter holiday with Dave and Steph.




"I Spy" is one of Jonah's favorite games, so hunting for eggs was a huge highlight.


We enjoyed lots of yummy food...including these pickled eggs that Steph made, local ham, and fresh rhubarb pie.  mmmmmm.
Happy Easter!
